Eh?

I was wondering last night, what is gonna happen to Bungie after the Halo series is finished. It was such a money maker, and such a brilliant idea. Will the geniuses at Bungie continue to pump out amazing ideas and beautiful games? I wonder if they will make another game related to the Halo story or just start fresh.

I can only hope that Bungie will make my later adult life as interesting as they have made my teenage years.

Edit- Sorry about posting it in the wrong forum originally. My bad.

So I think Jun's a master chef, because he takes off his helmet and your like whoa, I think he's a chef.

So to shorten this up, Jun is master chef.

Next I think that they should do some Grunt Rebellion stuff and delve deeper into the Covenant's history. That way we can find out about the roots of everything.

Leave the Halo story expansion up to the community, please.
Let's have a medieval first-person combat game.
No aliens, no quest to save the universe, no ridiculuosly overpowered weapons, just swords and bows.
And maybe shields. No horses, no catapults, no super powers. You are one guy in an army, it's your skill that keeps you alive.
Keep it simple.

um... halo is a trilogy. Meaning three parts. Meaning Bungie will most likely not be making another Halo game after Halo 3. (And before anyone says anything, Halo Wars is being made by Ensemble Studios, not Bungie. Bungie's there because they created Halo and want to make sure Halo Wars stays within what is in the Halo universe.)

edit: I'm hoping Bungie starts fresh with a new game after Halo 3. They did such a good job with Halo, why not do a better job with a new game?

edit: this belongs in a different forum. The stikies say "Non-Halo Bungie discussions ONLY" And it was moved here by one of the Ninjas.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and make a guess as to what you're getting at:

If you want to be a part of one of the greatest and most active communities in the seventh column, come here. You will thank me later.

I'm not really sure. Halo really was kind of a luck of the draw, in my opinion. Bungie had come up with some good games before, which didn't receive the same far-reaching success. Halo was just a really great idea, which was able to expand and spread because of its great story. Remember, the staff at bungie has changed. The tight-knit group of people who made the original Halo has been altered. Some have left, and many new workers have joined. I think that this new group of developers have been able to do a good job with Halo 3 because of such a great original foundation from the original game, but will they be able to create some new ideas of their own?

I think that bungie will continue to make good games, but they are going to have to come up with another unique story arc to start upon if they want another "Halo Killer". If one looks at games such as Marathon, one will notice that the Halo storyline was, in a way, a copy of that (from what I know, for I haven't played Marathon).

Actually, Halo's story really is a clone of Marathon's, just dumbed down a fair bit.
Halo was a 'killer app' because MS bought it, stuck it on their new Xbox, and shoved it in people's faces. Yes, Halo as Bungie imagined it would have been awesome... as an RTS, if I remember correctly. Bungie will come up with something awesome. It will be almost as big as Halo. And bigger than anything else until something actually beats Halo. But nothing will ever beat Marathon.

I'd really prefer they didn't do a Marathon 4. Infinity pretty well cracked that nut of a story wide open. We've already got a main character who can step between realities in order to find the best possible outcome to any situation--where does the plot go when it is already established that all possibilities are are open to him?

Marathon is one of those very few games where I would prefer to see a remake, rather than new content. I can imagine a very high-quality version of Marathon running on the Halo engine, and that would be pretty darn cool, especially if people would buy into the text-based terminals.

But even more than that, I'd like to see Bungie take on a new story altogether. There's nothing better than the brand new discovery of something great.

Actually, I think audiovisual terms would be better. Text and sound. Wentworth Miller for the voice of Tycho FTW!

I am a Floodian

How about Bungie actually making Pimps at Sea?

  • 05.25.2007 8:59 AM PDT

Like star wars it might turn into a universe and they could have games set way before or after the trilogy. It might go on forever

Strange evolution how people have come to believe
That we are it's greatest achievement
We're barely, we're just a collection of cells
Overrating themselves

Bungie has said they are done with Halo. That doesnt mean there isnt more of the Halo universe to discover, but as far as games go, I think theyre done.

Bungie has shown an ability to cross platforms and genres succesfully. Whatever they decide on, Im sure Ill be buying it..... or at least here talking about it.
